| Commentary | Basilio, apparently stabbed by himself, gets married with Quiteria (both in the center of the composition).
Good composition, with a great number of figures well-distributed around Basilio and Quiteria; in the left foreground, the priest; in the right foreground, don Quixote with a consenting gesture. Elegant illustration of great quality. |
| Notes | 1 – Same plate first engraved for Paris: Didot L’Aîné-Deterville, 1799; now without frame. |
